Movie
A film is a story that uses pictures, sound and editing to tell the story. It can be a feature film or a short, and it usually lasts over 50 minutes.
Getting started
If you want to make a film, you need a camera, a good lens, film stock and sound equipment. You also need a computer with software that lets you edit footage.
Before you start shooting, decide what type of movie you want to make. It could be a drama, a campaigning video, a documentary or a music video. It’s best to keep the story simple and make it clear to everyone who watches it.
